Separate but Unequal provides an in-depth critique of the ideology of parallelism-the prevailing view that Indigenous cultures and the wider Canadian society should exist separately from one another in a "nation-to-nation" relationship.

Using the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples as an example, this historical and material analysis shows how the single-minded pursuit of parallelism will not result in a more balanced relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. On the contrary, it merely restores archaic economic, political, and ideological forms that will continue to isolate the Indigenous population.

This book provides an alternative framework for examining Indigenous dependency. This new perspective-the political economy of neotribal rentierism-shows that Indigenous Peoples' circumstances have been inextricably linked to the development of capitalism in Canada. While Indigenous Peoples were integral participants in the fur trade, the transition from mercantilism to industrial capitalism led to their marginalization.

This book is published in English.

Separate but Unequal fournit une analyse approfondie de l'ideologie du parallelisme - la vision dominante selon laquelle les cultures autochtones et la societe canadienne en general devraient vivre separement les unes des autres dans une relation de nation a nation.

En s'appuyant sur le rapport final de la Commission royale sur les peuples autochtones, cette analyse historique et materielle montre que les propositions parallelistes visant a accroitre l'autonomie des Autochtones dans tous les aspects des politiques publiques ne se solderont pas en une relation plus equilibree entre peuples autochtones et non autochtones, etant donne qu'elles ne font que retablir des formes economiques, politiques et ideologiques archaiques qui continueront d'isoler la population autochtone.

Elle propose de recadrer la question de la dependance autochtone en ayant recours a la notion de rentierisme neotribal. Ce cadre d'economie politique met en lumiere le fait que les conditions des peuples autochtones ont ete inextricablement liees au developpement du capitalisme au Canada.
